Trade Review

Overcoming the Odds is of interest to researchers, as it documents the ways in which the study itself has grown over time. It is also of great value to educators, counselors, and administrators who take interest in the ways that the subjects of this study have overcome difficulties as children to lead healthy and productive adult lives.

This fine account of the general course of the lives of high risk subjects who made adequate social adaptations tells the factors that enabled them to win a battle that so many in their socioeconomic strata lose.
